It’s the perfect size for marking dove-tails, reaching into tight spots, and countless other tasks. Below, you will find the dimen-sions needed to construct the small version.

The bevel gauges use a router com-bined with a router jig to make var-ious cuts for the body and blade. The first step is routing a recess in the sides to house the inserts. After the inserts are installed, the sides are taped together using double-sided tape and put back in the jig. Then, a counterbore and a through hole are routed in each end of the sides.
Finally, a spacer and double-sided tape is used to hold the blade down to rout a hole and slot.
The process for making the small bevel is the same as the large bevel, with one minor exception. There is an extended set of shims that are used to center the bevel sides and blade in the jig, as seen in the illus-trations below.
Rout the Grooves. To rout the groove in the sides, install a side blank and position the stops as shown above. Plunge a straight bit into the sides, and rout the groove, from stop to stop.

Counterbore. Use double-sided tape to attach the sides and place them in the jig. A pair of spacers keeps the router plate above the workpiece while you rout the counterbore and holes.

Blade. To rout the blade, use a spacer block to raise the blade off the base of the jig. Use an end mill to rout the hole in the spacer end of the blank, then rout the slot in the blade in multiple passes.

Smaller Grooves. For the smaller bevel, reposition the router and stock stops. Place one side into the jig using spacers to raise it and a set of shims to keep it centered inside the jig.

Counterbore. The same spacers position the held together sides in the jig. Plunge the counterbores on each side first, and then change to a smaller bit to rout the through holes.

Blade. Use a spacer to raise the small bevel blade. Keep the side spacers in place to position the blade centered inside the jig. Rout the hole first, then the slot in multiple passes.
